done.
CHEESE
1/2 cup grated Italian, Parmesan, Romano or Pecorino, depending
on your pocketbook
Procure a low, wide and handsome tin pizza pan, or reasonable
substitute, and grease well before spreading the well-raised
dough 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Poke your finger tips haphazardly
into the dough to make marks that will catch the sauce when you
pour it on generously. Shake on Parmesan or Parmesan-type cheese
and bake in hot oven 1/2 hour, then 1/4 hour more at lower heat
until the pizza is golden-brown. Cut in wedges like any other pie
and serve.
The proper pans come all tin and a yard wide, down to regular
apple-pie size, but twelve-inch pans are the most popular.
Miniature Pizzas
Miniature pizzas are split English muffins rubbed with garlic or
onion and brushed with olive oil. Cover with tomato sauce and a
slice of Mozzarella cheese, anchovy, oregano and grated Parmesan,
and heat 8 minutes.
Italian-Swiss Scallopini
1 pound paper-thin veal cutlets
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup grated Swiss and Parmesan, mixed
1 egg yolk, lightly beaten with water
Butter
Salt
Paprika
Moisten veal with egg and roll in flour mixed with cheese,
quickly brown, lower flame and cook 4 to 5 minutes till tender.
Dust with paprika and salt.
Neapolitan Baked Lasagne, or Stuffed Noodles
1 pound lasagne, or other wide noodles
1-1/2 cups cooked thick tomato sauce with meat
1/2 pound Ricotta or cottage cheese
1 pound Mozzarella or American Cheddar
1/4 pound grated Parmesan, Romano or Pecorino
Salt
Pepper, preferably crushed red pods
A shaker filled with grated Parmesan, or reasonable substitute
Cook wide or broad noodles 15 to 20 minutes in rapidly boiling
salted water until tender, but not soft, and drain. Pour 1/2 cup
of tomato sauce in baking dish or pan, cover with about 1/2 of
the noodles, sprinkle with grated Parmesan, a layer of sauce, a
layer of Mozzarella and dabs of Ricotta. Continue in this
fashion, alternating layers and seasoning each, ending with a
final spread of sauce, Parmesan and red pepper. Bake firm in
moderate oven, about 15 minutes, and served in wedges like pizza,
with canisters of grated Parmesan, crushed red pepper pods and
more of the sauce to taste.
